Vi-POSCON Installation Guide
3 Introduction
The Vi-POSCON System is a point-of-sale exception monitoring device that connects to a store's
cash registers and camera surveillance system.
The Vi-POSCON System monitors EPoS (Electronic Point-of-Sale or cash register) terminal activity
and documents suspicious sales transactions. It does this by monitoring the register data for up to 10
sales transactions that the operator has designated as
exception events
. It also monitors up to four
external switch events (such as door switch or panic button).
When an exception event occurs, Vi-POSCON documents the event by:
Switching the DVR from time-lapse to real-time recording to record the register scene.
Displaying the register scene on a video monitor in a back room or office.
Highlighting the exception on the register receipt that overlays the video scene.
Generating a one-line printout that summarizes the exception event (if the Audit Trail option is
enabled).
Storing exception event information for the system reports.
By sounding an alarm tone.
Changes the relevant front panel Data LED from flashing green to steady red for the duration of the
event.
By lighting the red EVENT LED when the first event is logged. (The LED is not cleared until the event
is reviewed.)
After the system documents an exception, it:
Returns to routine surveillance, monitoring the register data according the surveillance parameters
you defined.
Switches the DVR from real-time to time-lapse recording.
Changes the relevant front panel Data LED from steady red to flashing green.
The Vi-POSCON System stores exception event data in its memory for generating its reports. The
Detailed Event Report provides complete details of the exception events. The Frequency Event
Report totals the number of exception events occurring per hour accumulatively over a number of
days. The Daily Report totals the number of exception events occurring per hour for a single day, for
up to 7 days. You can display and print the reports.
